Brunswick, OH – January 30, 2026 – Turf Care Supply (“Turf Care”) announced today that it has sold its blending and packaging assets and business to Spring Valley USA (“Spring Valley”), an affiliate of Interoceanic Corporation (“IOC”). With the closing of the transaction, Turf Care will be renamed Allied Nutrients and continue to manufacture leading enhanced efficiency fertilizers (“EEF”) out of its Martins Ferry, OH facility.
Mark Mangan, President of Allied Nutrients, commented, “We want to thank our long-time employees that will be joining the IOC family and to wish them well. We have known the IOC team for many years and believe this will be a great home. At the same time, we are excited for our ongoing team as we focus our resources and efforts on providing the best EEF solutions to the turf and ornamental market.”
The combination of Spring Valley and Turf Care Supply’s blending business, forms one of the largest independent lawn and garden fertilizer platforms in North America. The integrated business will have approximately 250 employees and will operate eight manufacturing and blending facilities across seven states, enabling coast-to-coast coverage of customers. By uniting two highly complementary companies, this acquisition creates a world-class turf & ornamental supply company positioned to deliver enhanced value to both professional and retail customers.
“This acquisition is a transformative step for our organization,” said Elio Mazzella, President of IOC and Spring Valley. “By bringing Turf Care Supply into the IOC family, we are significantly expanding our reach and capabilities in serving the lawn and garden industry. The combined company will have an unrivaled production footprint and product portfolio, which means we can offer our customers faster service, greater efficiency, and innovative solutions on a national scale.
